On Sunday the boyfriend, our friend and myself rented a canoe and went paddling around Lake Mendota. We mainly paddled to 'picnic point', where the boyfriend caught a stick with his fishing pole, and paddled back (we were on a strict timeline).

I sat in the middle and it didn't have a seat. This seatlessness was okay except that it meant that I sat cross legged (that's how I sit) and eventually lost feeling in one of my feet. It also meant that on the return paddle my ass got pretty wet when water jumped into our boat. Fun though.
